Looking for DIY project in installing heated seats. Any 1 got guidance on that?

I installed the Katzkin seat heaters in my truck. They were kind of a pain to install because of the amount of hog ring attachment points inside the seat cushions. It's definitely doable though if you're handy. The thing I like about it most is that it takes the edge off the cold during the winter morning commutes since the heater doesn't warm up while driving electric. I connected the power wire to my accessory delay wire under the passenger side dash. It should be a 12 gauge yellow w/orange stripe wire coming out of a 3 pin connector. If you wanted to make it simpler you could wire it to a cigarette lighter plug and just plug it in when you want to use them.

I did aftermaket ones in a Freesyle with leather a while ago. It was not that bad. 4 hours 1st seat, 2 hours second. The hog rings were a pain to cut and I replaced with small zip ties which held for the next 6 years of ownership . It worked out great. The kit was under $100.

I will be doing this to my XL later this fall when delivered.

There is a thread somewhere from a member who did it.

I am going to attempt it when I get my XL. I plan on getting seat covers and a heating element kit from Amazon. I am going to put the heating elements between the stock seat and the covers.

I plan on drawing power from the #3 fuse with a fuse tap and mount the switches next to the cigarette lighter. The poster I referred to earlier mounted his switches there.

I cant remember which category the post is in by the member who did his own heated seats. He did it the right way and had pictures.
